Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels are popping up more and more on rooftops, but they're not necessarily the best solar power solution. “The big limitation of PV…
For the first time, scientists have found convincing evidence for the presence of liquid water in a comet, shattering the current paradigm that comets never…
The international and interdisciplinary team of scientists thus sets a new record in the verification of the quantum properties of nanoparticles. In addition,…
Metamaterials are artificial materials that are engineered to have properties not found in nature. These materials usually gain their unusual properties—such…

With this experiment the scientists have not only come closer to the realization of a quantum computer but they also show surprising results for the quantum…
Quantum voltage standards are among the successful practical applications of superconductivity, so to mark the anniversary, the National Institute of Standards…
Reported in the journal Nature Physics,** these synthetic electric fields make each atom in a gas act, individually, as if it were a charged particle, but…
The circuit is “nontrivial” because it includes a circuit element—an adjustable barrier that controls the flow of atom current to specific allowed values. The…
As part of the quest to form perfectly smooth single-molecule layers of materials for advanced energy, electronic, and medical devices, researchers at the U.S….
In a new paper published online Tuesday in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, Eric Agol, a University of Washington associate professor of astronomy, suggests…
On March 16, the scientists began testing air filters on the ventilation intake for the Physics-Astronomy Building on the UW campus, looking for evidence of…
“No one anticipated seeing this before the mission launched,” said Steve Kawaler, an Iowa State University professor of physics and astronomy and a leader of…
As fiber optic technology continues to advance, it faces challenges from both its physical properties and its use of infrastructure. One emerging high-speed…
